Is it somewhat unintuitive to go to the Manifold Markets Home page in order to create new markets?

Okay, I'll take the free money.

Whaaaales? Where are you?

Would like to buy more to indicate personal ease of market creation, but the existence of whales makes me uneasy on meta markets. Especially when it would only take ~$10 to bump it to ~85%.

85% is a high threshold and puts the onus on the YES side.

I agree with Connor, it should be on the markets page. And also on the profile dropdown, why not?

I think the create market interface should also show up on the markets page (https://manifold.markets/markets) or a Home tab should be added next to the links to Communities and Markets. Perhaps Home could be renamed to Feed?

Yes, definitely. But it's okay. And moreover and I suspect the lack of a link from the markets page -- or, perhaps, market search result page -- is a temporary oversight that will be fixed shortly.

Eh no qualms here. Manifold’s biggest differentiator is the ease of creating markets so makes sense to me that would be front and center a la other content publishing platforms like FB or Twitter.

I have not found it odd whatsoever. Current system seems fine & fun, where questions creations are treated casually by the interface as well as the mechanics.

What do you all suggest instead?

I don’t know what this market’s going to say at close, but…it is.
